Chandigarh to Shimla 2 Days Tour

Once the summer capital of British India, Shimla remains the queen of Himalayan hill stations - a graceful sweep of colonial mansions, church spires, toy-train tracks and pine-clad ridges spread across the lower Himalayas. Cool, green and endlessly charming, it is the perfect short mountain escape from the plains, and there is no more classic gateway to it than the scenic drive up from Chandigarh. Triveni Cabs' Chandigarh to Shimla 2 Days / 1 Night Tour bundles the best of Shimla and nearby Kufri into one comfortable, fully private, chauffeur-driven trip in an air-conditioned vehicle, so you can enjoy the hills while an expert driver handles the winding roads. To book, call 7668570551 or WhatsApp wa.me/917668570551. Day one is the delightful climb from Chandigarh to Shimla, a journey of around 115 kilometres that ascends through pine and deodar forests along one of the most scenic highways in North India. As the road winds up past Kalka, Parwanoo, Solan and Kandaghat - roughly shadowing the famous UNESCO-listed Kalka-Shimla toy-train line - the air grows crisp and the views open onto layered green ridges. We stop for photos and a bite at scenic viewpoints and roadside cafes along the way. Your private Triveni vehicle lets you travel at your own pace with all the comfort stops you need. Reaching Shimla by afternoon, you check in and head straight to the town's beating heart: the Mall Road and the Ridge. The Ridge is a wide, open promenade offering sweeping mountain views, flanked by the neo-Gothic Christ Church - the second-oldest church in North India and Shimla's most iconic landmark - and the mock-Tudor Gaiety Theatre. The adjoining Mall Road is a bustling, traffic-free promenade lined with shops, cafes, bakeries and the lively Lakkar Bazaar, famous for its wooden crafts. An evening stroll here, perhaps with a hot coffee as the lights twinkle on, is quintessential Shimla. Overnight in Shimla. Day two ventures out to the scenic hamlet of Kufri and up to the hilltop Jakhoo Temple. Kufri, about 16 kilometres from Shimla at over 8,600 feet, is a charming resort spot famed for its panoramic Himalayan vistas, pony rides and, in winter, snow. The Himalayan Nature Park here shelters species like the elusive snow leopard, musk deer and monal pheasant, and from the Mahasu Peak nearby the views of the snow-capped ranges are magnificent. On the way back, we visit the revered Jakhoo Temple, perched atop Shimla's highest peak at around 8,000 feet and dedicated to Lord Hanuman - marked by a towering 108-foot statue visible from across the town. The temple, surrounded by cedar forest and famously home to bands of monkeys, offers some of the finest panoramic views over Shimla and the valleys beyond. Depending on time, we can also include the Viceregal Lodge (Rashtrapati Niwas), a magnificent Scottish-baronial mansion set in manicured gardens where much of India's history was decided, before you begin your journey home. Why book this hill tour with Triveni Cabs? Because mountain travel calls for an experienced hill driver and a reliable, well-maintained vehicle - not the uncertainty of crowded buses or shared cabs. Our drivers are seasoned on the Kalka-Shimla ghats, our Sedans, SUVs and 12-15 seater Tempo Travellers are chosen for mountain comfort and safety, and our fares are transparent and all-inclusive of fuel, tolls and driver charges. A private Triveni cab means doorstep pickup from Chandigarh, a flexible itinerary you control, and one trusted team for the whole trip, with 24x7 support throughout. Note that private vehicles have restricted access to parts of central Shimla and to Kufri's final stretch, and our drivers know exactly where to park and how to arrange the short local transfers where needed. This tour is easily customised to your interests. Prefer to spend more time on the Ridge and Mall Road, or head out early to beat the crowds at Kufri? We will adjust. Want to add the Kalka-Shimla toy-train experience for a stretch, a visit to the Himachal State Museum, Chadwick Falls, or the Tara Devi Temple? Just ask. Families love the pony rides and snow play at Kufri, honeymooners enjoy the leisurely Mall Road evenings, and groups appreciate the flexible pace. Your driver will happily reshape the flow of each day around your wishes. Shimla is a joy for much of the year. From March to June the weather is pleasantly cool and the hills lush, making it a favourite summer retreat from the northern plains. From December to February, snowfall can blanket Kufri and Shimla in white, drawing snow lovers for a magical winter escape - though the roads then demand careful, experienced driving, which our team is well-prepared for. The monsoon from July to September brings misty, green beauty but occasional landslides, so we monitor conditions closely. Whatever the season, an air-conditioned Triveni vehicle and a skilled driver keep your journey comfortable and safe. Reserving your Chandigarh to Shimla 2 Days Tour is quick and easy. Call 7668570551 or send a WhatsApp message to wa.me/917668570551 with your travel dates, group size and preferred vehicle, and we will confirm an all-inclusive itinerary and fare with no hidden charges. From the pine-scented climb up from Chandigarh to the colonial charm of the Ridge, the snows of Kufri and the sweeping views from Jakhoo, let Triveni Cabs take care of every mile of mountain road, so all you have to do is relax and soak in the timeless magic of Shimla.

The Chandigarh to Shimla 2 Days Tour is a 2 Days / 1 Night guided sightseeing experience starting from ₹9,500 (AC sedan). It covers Scenic Kalka-Shimla drive through pine and deodar forests, The Ridge, Christ Church, Mall Road and more.

Used Triveni Cabs for Varanasi spiritual sightseeing. Subah-e-Banaras boat ride at 5 AM, Kashi Vishwanath corridor by 8, BHU campus tour, Sarnath afternoon. Driver respected our pace at every ghat, didn't push us to hurry. Most contemplative tour I've done in India.

Booked Triveni Cabs for the Delhi full-day city tour. Driver Ramesh knew Red Fort entry timing, Qutub Minar shortcut, and the best Old Delhi parantha stop in Chandni Chowk. Covered 7 attractions in 9 hours, didn't feel rushed.

★★★★★

Took the Jaipur full-day sightseeing tour. Amber Fort sunrise was magical — driver suggested going at 8 AM before the tour-bus crowds. Sheesh Mahal photographs came out spectacular. Hawa Mahal external view + City Palace + Jantar Mantar all done by 4 PM.

A sightseeing day-trip works best when you book a driver who knows the city. Our Agra and Jaipur drivers have done thousands of trips — they know when the queues are shortest, where to park, where to eat. That's 2-3 hours of saved time per trip.
